Upgrading ES to 6.8?

[dareneiri]

I was wondering if there was any plan for Ambar to upgrade to ES 6.8+?
In 6.8, some of the security features that used to require licensing became free.

I'm aware this would require quite a bit of effort in resolving the mappings, especially since ES 6.0 removes mapping types.

I know in a previous issue where this was raised, one of the factors was that the morphology plugin is only available for 5.6. However there are forks available that support ES 6.6+
